Super Meat Boy

Long loading times after 14 hours of play; Anyone else encountered this?

So besides the well-known crash bug, which I solved to some degree by running the game in Win XP SP3 compatibility mode, I also encountered a long loading times bug today.

The gist of it is: the game crashed and after that every level took an exceptionally long time to load (if it loaded at all). Restarting the game did not help. I solved it by uninstalling the game and reinstalling it. Note: I tried a solution that was mentioned in another thread (run the game in windowed and set the thread priority to high), but it didn't work.

Does anyone know what causes it? Because it seems like one of those things that starts coming back with an increasing frequency and it would be nice to know the source of the issue.
